Italy’s defence minister has condemned what he said was an overnight drone attack by unidentified perpetrators on a flotilla trying to breach Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza to deliver aid.
Guido Crosetto also said he had ordered an Italian Navy frigate to head towards the 52 boats in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) to assist Italian citizens on board.
The GSF said several boats reported explosions and unidentified objects being dropped, as well as drones overhead and communications jamming. It accused Israel of a "dangerous escalation".
Israel’s government has not commented – but it has previously said it will not let the flotilla reach its destination.
